Judging Elena Kagan by J. F. Kelly, Jr.

A commentary by J. F. Kelly, Jr.

President Barack Obama has nominated Solicitor General Elena Kagan to fill the U. S. Supreme Court seat held for 34 years by liberal Justice John Paul Stevens who is retiring. This selection has delighted neither liberals nor conservatives. The former would, of course, prefer a nominee more liberal even than Stevens, if that’s possible. Conservatives, naturally, will oppose almost anyone nominated by Mr. Obama.

Kagan, however, would appear… Continue

It never fails to take my breath away, and I have seen a lot of beautiful beaches in my day. The water was flat enough to look and feel amazing, yet it still had that surge-y feeling…
